group names

students will discuss the difference between numbers in groups

students will listen to music to hear example of texture

class mill discuss definition of texture

Zin. Zin. Zin! a Violin

by Lloyd Moss

discuss with class the concepts of 1 – 10 and the relationship
grouping

and to think about the book and how many instruments are playing

discuss the texture of the music and group numbers

revisit math concept with class activity of listening to recording
and

holding up instruments and naming groups

finish with evaluation by matching instruments and group names

EVALUATION:

The evaluation can be done throughout the lesson:

When students listen to recording and hold up instruments

When students do group naming at the end of the lesson

FOLLOW UP:
